Benefits of Liquid Roofing

What is liquid applied roofing?

Liquid roofing is the application of a fully bonded, liquid-based coating that can be applied to any roof style. The coating then cures to create a rubber-like elastomeric waterproof membrane. This membrane is flexible so it can stretch and return to its original shape, making the system very popular for roofers.
